Suicide Risks

Depression is a major risk factor for suicide. The deep despair and hopelessness that is associated with depression often makes suicide seem like the only way to escape the pain. Thoughts of death or suicide are a serious symptom of depression.

What role does depression play in suicide in regards to one’s age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status? How do these particular variables correlate to, and what impact do they have on suicide rates? Additionally, based on the suicide risk assessment instrument you selected, discuss what you would say or do in response to someone you know who is having difficulties with interpersonal style, emotional regulation, or impulse control. How would you react to someone who was threatening suicide in an overly dramatic way?

You must utilize at least two peer-reviewed journal articles that were published within the last five years to support your discussion (in addition to the selected suicide risk assessment instrument that you identify). All sources must be cited according to APA

    The Apple iPhone did not make as big of a splash in Japan as Apple’s had hoped it would. The projection to sell a million iPhones in Japan unraveled and sales were very low. People of Japan were already aware of cell phones with a 3G network, which the faster network had been around for several years, much longer than the United States. A few problems that Japan had with the Apple iPhone were the touch screens, the iPhone were not as advanced as what they could already get in Japan, and the iPhone could not purchase train passes as the other phones did. “Emoji”, clip art that is used to create a more interesting and creative e-mail was also an application that Apple could not offer.…

    The state that this group is at right now is the “storming stage”(Robbins & Judge, 2013). Even though there are clear differences on the thinking of different groups of how to implement the after school program or who should head it, the common goal is still to meet the needs of the students and to better their learning and scores. The Woodson Foundation, the school and the NCPIE are coming together to form a development team but is having conflict on who will control the group and this is clearly a sign that the group is in its “storming stage”. If the group knew that there are five stages to fully become a functional group, they may come into an agreement to move onwards…

    We have already attempted coming up with a solution to the sale and consumption of alcohol in the 1920’s the Prohibition which was a complete and utter disaster when it failed drastically but turning the sale and consumption of alcohol into an underground crime scene by illegally smuggling alcohol and selling it. With a failed attempt and history repeating itself the government cannot use scare tactics on society as a way to prevent crime within society. If there is a way people will find it to be able to get what they want even if it is illegal to do. We set rules, regulations and laws for a reason which is to deter citizens from making wrong decisions and taking responsibility for their actions. For each law we have it is set up to prevent dangerous situations, crime or the potential for a crime to happen. Within our society the sale and alcohol consumption was minimized by the laws of economics to change things such as the price of alcohol, reducing the hours in which you legally can keep your establishment open, how much one in your establishment is allowed to consume before being “shut-off” for the night, and limiting the ability to purchase alcohol in some states on Sunday. Communities reconciled their differences by putting stipulations on minors having parties and if the authorities showed up not only were the minors arrested but the parents were now held accountable for the actions of their minor children. In addition they added leaving a facility drunk and causing a vehicular accident not only was the party who was driving the vehicle responsible for damages, lives lost, injuries sustained but so was the person whose house or establishment that they left from. Raising the bar on the luxury of consuming alcohol and making sure that people are held accountable for their irresponsibility’s while under the influence, increasing check-points within communities has reduced the statistics on accidents and deaths resulting from drinking and driving…

    We have all felt down in the dumps, or blue at some stage in our lives, being or feeling depressed, but it’s when those feelings of depression creep into our lives enough to interfere with how we are, being able to disrupt us living our lives, interfering with our daily functions, then we have symptoms of a mental illness known as clinical depression. 19 million Americans are estimated to suffer from depression every year, and anyone can suffer from depression having nothing to do with one’s age, gender, race or socioeconomic status. Depression is a true medical illness, not a weakness or a character flaw. (PSY Web, n.b.)…

    Suicide risk assessments (SRA) are based on the symptoms, behaviors, and historical factors that are gathered during a mental health professional/psychiatric interview whereas suicide risk formulation (SRF) is the professional judgment which is based on interview (Silverman & Berman, 2014). In order for professional judgment to occur there needs to have been an assessment (Silverman & Berman, 2014). When dealing with screening and assessing suicide risk there needs to be a standard of care which is defined by Silverman and Berman (2014) as “duty to exercise that degree of skill and care ordinarily employed by a reasonable and prudent clinician in similar circumstances by members of the same profession” (p. 421). Two suicide risk tools are the…
